Positively Splendid’s Top 12 of 2012

Welcome to Positively Splendid! If you are new here, I invite you to subscribe to the RSS feed to ensure you never miss a post.

This time of year, I am always thankful for the way my blog serves as a little time capsule of sorts, allowing me to take a walk down memory lane to remember my favorite (and no so favorite!) creative projects from the last twelve months.

2012 was a bustling year here at Positively Splendid, with multiple home decorating ventures, craft projects and some tasty recipes to provide plenty of fuel along the way. Today, I’m sharing my top 12 posts from 2012. Let’s get right to it!

Something about this sweet wreath made my heart happy. The vibrant colors and yummy texture added a splash of life to my kitchen during the doldrums of winter. I can’t wait to display it again this year!

The memories I have of my mom making these loaves and wrapping them up to give as gifts to friends at the holidays are some that I will always hold dear. This recipe helps me recall precious days gone by!

In terms of the overall impact on the aesthetic of an area in our home, no other project that I completed this year can rival this one. These updates completely transformed this space, and what I think I am most proud of here is that I was able to mainly use things I already owned. A quote from that post that I particularly like:

Satisfaction in one’s home can only be achieved when you stop focusing on what you don’t have and start appreciating what you do.

These frames come together quickly and inexpensively, but the end result looks completely current and on-trend. I love that the method I came up with for these beauties allows me to easily switch out the photos as the moods strikes me!

To say that this project revolutionized the day-to-day operations of our little family is putting it mildly. This project, which turned an under-utilized hallway in our home into a command center for coats, important papers, keys and more has been an absolute life-saver! My husband says this is his favorite project of the year, hands down.

I just found your site from a friend’s facebook post. WOW! You may have just become my new favorite site. I love everything I have seen so far. I especially liked the sewing room and home office because I am getting ready to make my own. Your blog is truly “Positively Splendid”. Thank you so much for sharing your creativeness and inspiring me to get creative myself. That is priceless.

Dittos to Teresa – You are my new favorite blog! You definitely inspire me to be creative (and decorative) within organization! I don’t have a crafty bone in me; I’m happy instead when everything is organized down to a science. But you’ve shown how I can make it look beautiful too! The DIY ideas are simple and seem like something even I could do Btw, your dining area and craft room are lovely! Thank you for your inspiration!
